               • lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets
                 • Acute ITP: less than 6 months usually presents as a childhood
                   • Chronic ITP 6 months or longer occurs most commonly between the ages of 20 and 50 years
                     • secondary  if it is associated with an underlying disorder; autoimmune disorders, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and infections, such as HIV and hepatitis C
                 • Risk FactorsGenetics Gender Age Receiving certain vaccines. Although very rare, some vaccinations can “trigger” ITP. Viral infections
                   • The signs of bleeding include: Petechiae (< 3mm) Purpura (3-10 mm) Ecchymoses (> 1 cm) Hematoma Nosebleeds or bleeding from the gums Blood in urine or stool

             • Decreased production: Aplastic aneamia- megaloblastic anemia-drugs- infections (HIV), leukemia
             • Decreased survival: immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)-drug induced (heparin- quinidine)-Dissiminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC)- thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
